How to Teach a Language

Thank you for considering listening to our podcast, How to Teach a Language: A Workshop for One-on-One Language Teachers Podcast. This a podcast for those of you who teach a language one on one, in person, or using one of those platforms that enable you to teach online. In this podcast, I am going share with you how to teach language based on the research, the studies and literature from the Field of Second Language Acquisition, the field that studies every aspect of how we learn a language, and from my own experience as a language instructor and as language learner myself. I will also share demo lessons in different languages to show you how to apply different concepts that I’ll mention in the podcast. Once again, thank you for considering listening to our podcast, and I hope I can contribute to your journey as a one-on-one language teacher.
